MANILA, Philippines – The Miss Universe organization announced on Wednesday that Filipino-American entrepreneur and skin care expert Olivia Quido-Co has been named vice president for global partnerships of the organization. 

Quido-Co, who initially served and will continue as the CEO and President of the Miss Universe Skincare and Spa division, took to Instagram to share the exciting news of her additional role at the organization. 

“I am thrilled to accept my new role as Vice President for Global Partnerships of the Miss Universe Organization. As your Vice President, I will be focusing on implementing and expanding our mission driven work and corporate social responsibility around the world,” she wrote. 

“I will also be working with our many franchise partners and National Directors with Mario VP of International Relations – I can’t wait to get to know you all better! I look forward to having very fruitful and productive communication with you going forward,” she said.

“I have an open line – let’s work hand in hand to make this new era of Miss Universe a historical success, trailblazing for the next generation of queens to enjoy. We have a presence in nearly 100 countries, and I look forward to further growth in this area,” added Quido-Co.
